The uncomfortable and unavoidable fact of the matter is that the news media—conservative and mainstream—had already taken notice of Biden's diminished mental acuity well before the debate. A majority of the American people had noticed it. A majority of Democrats had noticed it. The difficulty of concealing Biden's decline was such that the president's innermost circle shielded him from press scrutiny, kept the Cabinet at bay, and scheduled can't-miss meetings with legislators during the periods of time throughout the day at which he was sharpest. She was the press secretary, and she didn't notice any of this? It's frankly unbelievable, unless she was unusually out of the loop. (She certainly isn't claiming she was out of the loop, however.)One wonders, then, why she would bother telling her story in book format, and discussing it on national television, if she cannot honestly reckon with these incredible shortcomings.
I think it was Scott Jennings who said that there was the public version of Biden that everybody could see and then there was the White House version where he was sharp as a tack and turning cartwheels behind closed doors. KJP needs some cash so she needs to gaslight everyone that she never saw Biden's obvious decline. She's dumb enough to think she can get away with it.
